Chapter 13: You are already old, why not seek immortality?
Seeing Lan Yu's reaction, Zhu Yunxuan smiled secretly in his heart.
It seems that he understands.
Although Lan Yu is a big boss, she is also extremely crazy.
But he is definitely not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
After the witchcraft disaster, the prince died, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty planned to pass the throne to his youngest son Liu Fuling.
But before that, his mother, Mrs. Gou Yi, was sent to death.
Why is this?
Naturally, she is afraid that Mrs. Gou Yi will become the next Empress Dowager Dou and interfere in the government affairs.
When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was young, he was controlled by Empress Dowager Dou and had no real power at all.
Liu Fuling was still young at that time and could easily become the puppet of his mother, Mrs. Gou Yi.
Therefore, Mrs. Gou Yi must die.
Now, both Zhu Yunxi's biological parents have passed away. If Zhu Yuanzhang wants to make Zhu Yunxi his grandson, then Lan Yu, his uncle, is undoubtedly the biggest relative.
Moreover, Lan Yu holds a large number of soldiers, has great achievements, has her own way of doing things, and is arrogant...
How could Zhu Yunxi not be controlled by Lan Yu?
Looking at Lan Yu's attitude towards Zhu Yunxi just now, this situation has begun to take shape.
This moment is very much like that time.
If Lao Zhu was worried that Zhu Yunxi could not suppress Lan Yu, his only option would be to follow the example of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who did to Madam Gou Yi and kill Lan Yu.
Lan Yu has obviously figured this out.
His whole body froze, as if he had been restrained. Only the corners of his mouth were twitching.
It is already June and the weather is hot.
But the chill in her heart made Lan Yu break into a cold sweat.
He is not a fool.
In an instant, he understood his situation.
I was just in the game before, so I didn’t think about it.
This is exactly what the authorities are confused about, but onlookers know clearly.
When Zhu Biao was still alive, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not touch Lan Yu easily.
He will also be regarded as a member of Zhu Biao's team.
But Zhu Yunxi is different, he is not Zhu Biao.
On the contrary, if Zhu Di was established as the crown prince, with the prestige of King Yan in the army and in the court and the public, then Zhu Yuanzhang would not have any need to kill Lan Yu.
Zhu Di can suppress him!
Otherwise, no matter whether Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Yunwen is appointed as the heir, he will undoubtedly die.
"Huh-huh-"
Lan Yu's breathing became rapid, and her eyelids were jumping up and down.
Zhu Yunxuan sat quietly on the stone bench, just looking at Lan Yu.
It took quite a while before Lan Yu came back to her senses as if she had just woken up from a big dream.
He stood up in a hurry, cupped his hands towards Zhu Yunxuan and said: "Thank you to the Fourth Emperor for reminding me, Lan Yu will never forget this kindness."
He spoke very seriously and his words were quite sincere.
The guards behind Lan Yu looked at each other in confusion, not understanding the reason.
How could Lan Yu, who has always been so arrogant, thank a child so formally?
Therefore, they can only be guards.
Zhu Yunxuan grinned, still looking so harmless: "Uncle, you don't need to thank me, you should thank His Majesty."
"Your Majesty?" Lan Yu's body shook slightly, and a dozen emotions flashed through her eyes in an instant.
The wind chimes are still ringing, making a clear and crisp sound, just like Lan Yu's heart at this moment.
Lan Yu lowered her head and murmured: "Is it... His Majesty is reminding me... His Majesty still misses the old minister..."
Zhu Yunxuan looked at Lan Yu and said nothing.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything.
Even preparing to move Lan Yu was just a secret plan.
Originally, Zhu Yunxuan did not intend to tell this matter.
However, thinking about what Zhu Di said not long ago, I decided to point it out.
Lan Yu’s life must be kept now.
In fact, the relationship between Zhu Di and Lan Yu has never been harmonious.
When Zhu Biao was still alive, Lan Yu was very loyal to Zhu Biao.
And he had deep opinions on Zhu Di.
He always felt that Zhu Di was a threat to Zhu Biao because of his self-respect, and reminded him many times.
However, Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously.
After Zhu Di found out, he harbored a grudge against Lan Yu.
The two sides have had grievances for a long time, and it cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.
Previously, Zhu Di reminded Zhu Yunxian to pay attention to Lan Yu. In fact, he wanted Zhu Yunxu to agree and even pushed Zhu Yuanzhang to kill Lan Yu.
In the entire court, the only thing Zhu Di was afraid of was Lan Yu.
As long as Lan Yu dies, there will no longer be a minister in the court who truly knows how to lead troops in battle.
To Zhu Di, others are just a bunch of losers.
He doesn't even look at people like Fu Youde and Li Jinglong.
Therefore, Zhu Di urgently wants to kill Lan Yu.
In this case, even if he is not established as a prince, if he rebels in the future, he will still be able to seize the throne!
However, after all, Zhu Di is not as scheming as Lao Zhu.
I don’t know that Lan Yu’s death also means other things.
However, Zhu Yunxuan saw it.
Instead, he decided to save Lan Yu's life.
The reason is simple.
If Lan Yu dies, Lao Zhu can make Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Yunxi the prince without any scruples.
But if Lan Yu is still alive, Lao Zhu’s best choice is Zhu Di.
Because only Zhu Di can shock Lan Yu.
No one else can!
Although Zhu Di had conflicts with him, Lan Yu could only survive if Zhu Di inherited the throne.
……
After Zhu Yunxi left, he was actually not far away, but he didn't understand what happened.
Although he was on the sidelines, he also got a general idea.
But at his current age, he obviously can’t think of that much.
I don’t understand why Lan Yu’s reaction was so big when Zhu Yunzhen mentioned Mrs. Gou Yi.
In Zhu Yunxi's view, these are irrelevant matters.
In the pavilion, the wind chimes were still swaying and making a crisp sound.
Lan Yu said: "The kindness of the four emperors and grandsons today will be repaid generously by Lan Yu in the future."
Zhu Yunzhen smiled innocently and said, "Uncle, I didn't say anything. You haven't answered my question yet."
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes."
After looking around, Lan Yu whispered again: "Fourth Emperor Sun, tell me, why did Mrs. Gou Yi die? If... is there any possibility of her surviving?"
Lan Yu's eyes have changed.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Zhu Yunzhen no longer showed contempt, but instead treated Zhu Yunzhen as an adult.
Zhu Yunzhen smiled and glanced at the guards behind Lan Yu.
"Ahem!" Lan Yu coughed, and many guards took three steps back.
Zhu Yunzhen still wore a harmless smile and said: "Uncle, I heard that there is a Taoist priest in Xuanyang Temple in the city, who is the reincarnation of a god!"
"What does the Fourth Emperor Sun mean?" Lan Yu's brows wrinkled slightly, as if she didn't understand.
Zhu Yunxuan smiled and said: "I heard that the Taoist priest is good at alchemy. Anyway, my uncle is free recently, why don't you go find the Taoist priest."
